Lady Grey Recipe

If your plans for the day involve swinging in a hammock or enjoying an outdoor brunch with friends, make a pitcher of this cocktail featuring mint, ginger, citrus, and black tea. If you're going the punch bowl route, consider freezing a large block of ice in a tupperware container the night before you plan to serve.

Directions

1.

For the Fresh Ginger Syrup: Add chopped ginger, sugar, and hot water to a blender. Blend until uniform. Strain with a fine-mesh strainer or through cheesecloth. Use immediately or refrigerate, sealed, up to 1 week.

2.

For the Earl Grey Tea: Add tea bags to boiling water and steep 2 minutes. Remove tea bags, cover, and chill. Use once chilled, or refrigerate, sealed, up to one week.
